  • Khammouane Province, Laos, 2015 There is no I in teamwork. Village Disaster Protection Unit members share a laugh together following completion of a Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction simulation. The exercises and drills focus on disaster preparedness and response at village level, ensuring communities are equipped with skills to activate emergency plans and save lives. Through the simulation project Lao Red Cross and partner French Red Cross, with support from the European Union, are improving safety for vulnerable communities.
